Follow the steps given below to improve the data movement for a File System Agent:
Procedure
-
If the client computer has multiple disks, to enable parallel data movement operations from the client, create multiple subclients.
-
Configure multiple data streams for the storage policy that is assigned to the subclients.
For more information, refer to Change the Maximum Number of Data Streams.
If the Storage Policy is not configured for multiple data streams, then subclients will perform the data protection operations one after the other in a serial.
-
For Windows and Unix File System Agents, configure the subclient for multi-stream backups.
By default, multi-streaming is not configured for clients with a single disk. However, you can choose to override the default configuration. For more information, refer to Streams.
